HS v2022 Code: 850434

About transformers; n.e.c. in item no. 8504.2, having a power handling capacity exceeding 500kva

HS code 850434 covers transformers with a power handling capacity exceeding 500kVA, which are essential components in high-voltage electrical transmission and distribution systems. These transformers play a crucial role in the efficient and reliable supply of electricity, enabling the transfer of power from generation sources to end-users across the grid. As a key infrastructure asset, the transformers described by this code are vital to the functioning of modern economies and the development of industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.

Production process

The production of transformers covered by HS code 850434 typically involves a multi-step process. This includes the winding of copper or aluminum coils, the assembly of the core and windings, the enclosure of the transformer in a protective housing, and the installation of cooling systems and other auxiliary components. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as automated winding and precision assembly, are often employed to ensure the quality and reliability of these large-scale transformers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of transformers under HS code 850434 include high-grade electrical steel for the core, copper or aluminum for the windings, insulating materials such as oil or resin, and specialized machinery for winding, assembly, and testing. Additionally, the manufacturing process may require access to skilled labor, engineering expertise, and a reliable supply of energy and other utilities to support the production facilities.

Production outputs

Transformers classified under HS code 850434 are primarily used in high-voltage electrical transmission and distribution networks, where they are essential for stepping down voltages to levels suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential use. The output of these transformers may be consumed by 853610 Electrical Apparatus for Switching or Protecting Electrical Circuits, 853620 Automatic Circuit Breakers, and 853630 Other Apparatus for Protecting Electrical Circuits.
